A similar alternative (to the original question) is that it could be
due to the $HOME variable too- mplayer does have config files in
your home directory (well, the version I have does, I've not tried
the .deb version tho).
Well, more accurately, there's a config file that may be empty,
and a codecs file that should have *lots* of info in it, and a
registry file for windows emulation, to use those windows based
codecs (does the .deb have these?).
